| Troy Jordan |
The first time I had the pleasure of experiencing Troy Jordan perform was as the bass player for the rock cover group Magazyne. Now I've seen a lot of good bass players and a few great ones, but I don't believe I've ever come across a bass player who so successfully combines a great skill on his instrument while simultaneously displaying such pure joy while doing it. To watch Troy perform is just as entertaining as it is listening to his musicianship.
Since I first discovered him I have learned that he not only is the bass player for Magazyne but also puts in appearances with several different groups from time to time, most recently as part of the trio Still 3 that performed at this year's Spring Fling at Plum Krazy's. With whatever incarnation of a group Troy performs with he plays with the same joy for each. His exuberance exhausts you because being in the audience you can't help but to move your head, shake your butt or stomp your feet along with him.
I was nearby the stage this weekend as Troy, Brian and Wayne performed and then broke down their equipment and hauled it out and each time he passed by, drenched in sweat, he had the most childlike expressions of joy on his face, as though he had just completed a personal tour of Santa's workshop and was so thrilled he wanted to turn around and do it all again. Now that's not to say that Brian and Wayne's performance were lacking, they definitely were not, it is just that Troy takes his performance to another level entirely.
So if you look on TriadLiveMusic.com's calendar and see Magazyne, Still 3 or any of the other incarnations that include Troy Jordan, be sure to mark it down and go. Thank you Troy for another inspirational performance.
